Mission

Maine Lakes Society mission is to promote, protect and enhance lake water quality, and preserve the ecological, economic, recreational, and aesthetic benefits of Maine's lakes. We accomplish this through science-based action, education and advocacy, and by supporting local lake associations. We strive to build a diverse and growing membership of lake associations, individuals, and businesses who actively support our mission. Our organization focuses on three program areas: LakeSmart which educates landowners about erosion and runoff; Lakes Alive! which focuses on youth education; and Advocacy in both Augusta and D.C. to promote laws, rules and regulations that protect lake health.
